A sandwich or leftovers from a meal the day before. Something simple and easy, really.

The Best Fresh Tomato Recipes: What Are Yours?

Baked tomatoes - slice the tomatoes in half and a tiny part of the bottoms, so that they stand up. Drizzle with olive oil, oregano, garlic, pepper, and breadcrumbs for a crunchy topping. Bake at 400 for about 30 minutes and broil at the end for just a minute or so. Just wonderful!

Also, I cut them up into any pasta or veggie dish in small chunks. Tomatoes make any dish better.

Cook the Book: 'Vegetable Harvest'

If I had a garden, I would definitely grow tomatoes. I look forward to that point in summer every year when the tomatoes are ripe and ready to be picked. It has to be my favorite vegetable and it's always best when they're fresh. I'd love to have so many that I'd have an excuse to cook up some great tomato-heavy recipes.
Oh, and of course yellow squash and zucchini, because a summer garden isn't complete without them.

If I'm being a good girl, chicken or beef w/ stir fry veggies & Soy Vay Teriyaki sauce with basmati rice... if I'm eating whatever I want, it could be cereal, grits and eggs, cheese toast w/ some kind of soup or just ice cream. Yummy yum!

I am very fortunate to already own this fantastic book. If by random selection my comment is selected, please select another SE fan so they too can enjoy her book. Being single, it is rare NOT to eat alone. My most enjoyable meal is breakfast. The simple poached egg & oatmeal quietly eaten before I'm out the door to start my day.

I eat leftovers or something with cheese. My boyfriend has a cheese-phobia so when I'm alone it's always a good time for me to divulge my senses in all that is cheesy goodness =)

when it's in season, a steamed artichoke! With melted butter for dipping. it's the perfect "food for one."

A few year's back, I tried Crescent Dragonwagon's recipe for Garlic Spaghetti. It's perfect for eating alone with a small salad or sliced tomato.
you don't really need a recipe, just fine-chopped garlic in butter and noodles with lots of cracked pepper

Thanks to her articles in Gourmet, I often make gingerbread, recipe courtesy of Laurie Colwin. It's delicious topped with lemon curd and I can usually find a chunk of it in the freezer, if it's not on the kitchen counter.

Breakfast for dinner: French toast is a favorite, as my husband isn't a fan. Scrambled eggs with sauteed mushrooms, some Canadian bacon or sausage, and hot buttered toast is also lovely.
